The city is awashed in blue and orange today. We are two days away from our home team's first appearance in the Super Bowl in 21 years. It's just as cold today as it was that day Yvonne and I huddled in Daley Plaza in '85 to await the arrival of the team for the ticker tape parade the day after they clobbered the Patriots in New Orleans. Payton. Hampton. Singletary. The Junk Yard Dogs. McMahon. Butler. Gault. Wilson. Dent. Bortz. Richardson. Ditka. Ryan.
It's funny how an entire city can perk up and join together in fervent anticipation of another championship. Chicago is so diverse, yet so united when it counts. Grossman. Urlacher. Gould. Kruetz. Davis. Jones. Benson. Lovie. Hester. Briggs. Rivera. Muhammad. Tait. Vasher. Briggs. Garza. Berrian. Clark. Hillenmeyer. Mannelly. Ogunleye.
GO BEARS!
